Thousands of people descended on Forever Florida in St. Cloud, Florida on Saturday, Feb. 16 to participate in Foam Fest, an event that bills itself as the "only obstacle mud race that doubles as a human car wash."

My teenage son is an avid runner and loves doing the “extreme 5ks”. So, I signed him and his friend for the 9:20 am wave of Foam Fest and then tagged along to photograph the fun. The boys slid down one of the two towering 45-foot inflatable slides, avoided cow pies, sped over the aqua lily pads, climbed up eight-foot tall walls, dodged the Bouncy Ball Attack and slid through foam to the finish. All in all, they had a great time, trying not to inhale the foam as they laughed as hard as they ran.

Enjoy the above video of foam racers slipping and sliding their way through the course!
